That was just him owning terrorists, I'd say business as usual there. Killing the dude straight after through the wall was epic as well.

I'm thinking more along the lines of his pipe neck break in the submarine, or before the huge EMP device went off (the one from years ago that he had to shut in a vault as it detonated behind him), where he took two guys down unarmed with choke slams. Or killing the main story villain off by hanging him with a chain and making it ascend to choke him to death.

Found this today randomly, which claims that up until the end of Season 7, Jack owned 224 people.

There's probably a few mistakes, since it assumes everyone he comes in contact with dies and a few are in there which he didn't actually kill, such as Audrey's husband Paul, as pointed out by a commenter who watched it. Still ridiculously cool to look back, some of them I hardly even remember!

Edit:

It appears kills aren't the only stat that was racked up in 8 years!

-------------------Kiefer Sutherland on ending 24:"I see Jack as a really human figure and there is something innately tragic about people. I think there is no winning."

WTF! This is a totally off the rails, outrageously kick ass Jack Bauer. They are really pulling out everything for the end of this TV titan. Jack vs. Logan was unbeliveably good, as was the bug in his collar.

The only disappointment for me is Cole Ortiz. He isn't as badass as he could've been. They should've strong armed Chase back into the show... oh well.

I'm starting to muse on whether Russia get him at the climax of the finale, since the feature film is to take place in Europe - what if it's set after Jack's incarceration at the hands of the Russians? There's enough big screen setup there, a former American Government agent manipulated by the Russian Government against his own country. You get the idea, it's not a bad theory.

Didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped, found the kidnapping lacklustre. Jack's made impossible shots before with his silenced pistol and couldn't hit a Secret Service agent with an automatic rifle in a tunnel at 50m. Maybe I just don't want it to end like this. Leaving that weasel Logan alive was an unforgivable plothole, he's killed so many of Jack's friends and loves, even if it was to get to the bigger fish and now Jack's gushing blood from a tiny knifewound when he was stabbed head on earlier in the day and didn't even break pace then.

I loved hearing Logan squeal like a little girl when Jack was going after him. There should have been more scenes with him in that badass armor.

Anybody kind of disappointed that massive fight against Novakovich and his bodyguards didn't get aired? I guess considering how bloody it appeared to be, they weren't allowed to, but that only makes me want to see it more.

I'm willing to believe several things: One Jack did not want to kill those people just injure them, two Jack was only trying to make a distraction and 3 Jack is going to kill logan next week.

If Jack had killed Logan he would have never found out that other dude was the actual one who gave the order and orchestrated the entire Season 8 problems.

A word to the wise, never kill someone you can use to get information off later. Quite possibly the best episode of 24 is many years.

Edit: I'm not really bothered they never showed it turmoil. It would have went over an hour if they did.

Man I did not expect to be alone in this opinion but I was thoroughly disappointed with this week's episode. I think Tec 9 puts it best when he said "it was like a mini version of Heat". My question is: since when was this a good thing for 24?

I'm all up for all-action sequences with Jack kicking multiple asses but at his core he is an intensely just and morally upright soldier. I can't think of a single occasion where he has willingly executed someone in the way that he dispatched Dana and Novakovich (who I assume was essentially defenceless).

The almost comic brutality of the scene with all the dead Russians just doesn't add up. On numerous occasions Jack's come face to face with those responsible for causing pain and killing close friends/loved ones yet in seven series he's never enacted revenge in cold blood just for the sake of it:

He twice worked with Nina Myers rather than killing her and when he did shoot her it was to defend Kim.

He saw to it that Logan was arrested rather than killing him

Given the choice between rescuing his nephew and dealing with Cheng in S6 he chose the former

Despite his hand in David Palmer and Michelle's deaths Jack also resists the strong urge to kill his brother in S6

I just don't buy this off-the-rails Jack they've written into the end of the season and to be honest it's leaving a sour taste in what was turning out to be one of the strongest seasons of recent years.

Dave - When people snap, they don't act like their usual selves... Jack has snapped and is finally sick and tired of everyone close to him dying... If it wasn't for his daughter and grandchild, I think he would have snapped before now actually.... The power of multiple losses is great fuel for madness....
